I have a little problem here. Picked up a used 14" Excellerator II coil a number of months ago (for water hunting) and it worked great.. at first. Now, for some reason, all it does is overload when the sensitivity is set past 2 (used to be able to max it), and can barely see a copper penny at 2" in the air. One thing I've noticed is, unlike my other coils, one set of pins reads 4.1 Ohms vs. 3 something on the other coils. It's a shot in the dark, but I think the coil is hooped. Anyone? ..Willy. (BTW, it overloaded with both the M6 and MXT, so I doubt that it's my detector at fault)

I would give JW a call at Kellyco and see what he can do for you Willy.

Could be it's taken on water? You might try putting it in an area where it is warm enough to force it to dry out.
Just a thought.

If you have a chance, try the 10X12 EX. I'm very pleased with it and not much heavier than the stock coil on my V3.
Just a clarification.. I meant a large DD neutrally buoyant coil, preferably of a 'spider' design. I do a fair amount of prospecting in streams/rivers and the large surface area of a White's DD (not the mini shooter) coil makes for a frustrating experience when the water catches it. As for water being in the coil.. who knows. I'll see if I can 'dry' it out. As for getting another Excellerator coil, I'll have to think long and hard about it. Don't want another bum coil and I don't know about the warranty and how problematic it is re. getting problems resolved. That's the nice thing about White's (and, to be fair, Garrett and Tesoro), they generally have outstanding customer service. ..Willy.
